TYAD fundraiser aids youth voting in 2024 Taiwan elections
The Taiwan Youth Association for Democracy (TYAD) has successfully concluded its fundraiser to help students return home to vote in the upcoming 2024 Elections. The fundraising drive, which started on December 8, aimed to reduce the costs of youth returning home to vote. Nearly 1,200 donors contributed NT$660,000 to the cause, allowing youth to take buses home to vote for just NT$113. The plan includes ferry service from Kaohsiung to Penghu and flights to Kinmen. If donations exceed NT$700,000, three additional routes will be added, and if they surpass NT$800,000, 10 more routes will be added. The buses will depart from 10 universities and municipalities’ train stations, with 27 pick-up and drop-off points. The fundraiser will conclude on December 29, 2023, and the association encourages continued public interest and support to fulfill the voting needs of more Taiwanese youth. The 2024 presidential and legislative elections, to be held on January 13, have generated significant attention for this fundraising project.2023/12/25 16:21
